I have been looking for a Yorkie in the surrounding Okla area. I have been diligently checking all the local papers, the thrifty nickel, petfinder and several pet classifieds on the internet. I am not picky whether male or female. I have even filled out several adoption applications (even though they state fence yard required and no small children) and just waiting for a reply. I live on 15 acres with no fenced yard and my smallest child is 6 and loves animals even more than myself. It is very hard not to get frustrated with the adoption agencies and all their rules and regulations. I will love an animal possibly more than someone who might meet the requirements. I would love to rescue a Yorkie but may have to resort to purhasing one. I have seen prices all over the place. I am not sure what a fair price would be because I have no interest in showing a dog. I also don't want to get ripped off. My husband would not understand spending a lot of money on a dog. He doesn't quite share my love of animals but I told him he married "Ellie Mae" and should have done his homework a little better because I am not going to change. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for the posts about the animals at the rescue agencies that are posted on Petfinder. Two of them are ones that I actually filled out adoption applications. Sorry this got a little long. First time, can you tell?
